California would end up with a hefty bill following its failed attempt at anti-violent game legislation, and it could hit tax payers somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.8 million in attorney fees alone.

After losing its bid to impose a law that would make the sale of mature-rated games to minors illegal, the state of California has been asked to reimburse the Electronic Software Association for the industry body’s role in the lobbying.

The California state senator headlining the violent games case at the United States Supreme Court today said the ruling in favor of refusing to make the sale of adult game to minors illegal is a disservice to America’s children.

California state Senator Leland Yee, the author of a bill which criminalizes sales of violent games to minors, has said if his bill is passed, it will do much more than the ESRB does when it comes to games ratings.

The SCOTUS blog has posted up a giant preview of the arguments we can expect from both sides of the Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association review before the Supreme Court on November 2. See, Ted? Maybe you should say things the MGP can take “out of context” more often.
